Basal ganglia
| Name: | Basal ganglia |
| Description: | Subcortical masses of gray matter in the forebrain and midbrain that are richly interconnected and so viewed as a functional system. The nuclei usually included are the caudate nucleus (caudoputamen in rodents), putamen, globus pallidus, substantia nigra (pars compacta and pars reticulata) and the subthalamic nucleus. Some also include the nucleus accumbens and ventral pallidum. |

| Comment | This class should be a defined class through the part of relationship. When someone searches NIF for Basal ganglia, it should automatically expand to all of its parts. |
